LD30 — Connected Worlds

Heart Star by AdventureIslands 2014-08-26T20:24:00

Goooooood stuf!! :D

Wifimon by Morusque 2014-08-26T12:20:00

Amazingly strange and fun thing to play.

I gotta try this when in a train :p

PEW PEW PEW PEW by invi 2014-08-26T20:38:00

Very clever theme interpretation and a fun thing to play. But I suck at it :p

Super Galactic Space Bus Driver by Laddo D 2014-08-26T15:29:00

Haha super awsome. Too bad the range is low I like how cool and dangerous (but mostly cool) the boost is!

Crumbling Planets by Polona 2014-08-26T13:37:00

I see how this can be crazy when playing with someone else trying to kill the other :D

Escape From Animal Forest by Skyfish 2014-08-26T16:22:00

Very good mood, nice work with the gameplay and I like the mood and theme. Nature is worth much more then what we do with it. Well done!

Guidance by Reverend Speed 2014-08-26T13:31:00

The concept is fun but it's very short :(

Helps the bunny! by Namide 2014-08-26T13:34:00

Pretty cool how you can build your own levels. I can only win the first though by clipping out of the level?

Any Moment by Jakub Koziol 2014-08-31T20:09:00

Pretty sick good voice you got there :)
Nice experience and very inspiriing. Good game!!

Don't make "normal" games!!! Continue with these things :D it's super cool

Connecting Worlds by SojaBird 2014-08-26T12:40:00

I updated the description with the controls ;)

Connecting Worlds by SojaBird 2014-08-30T23:25:00

Thanks for all the responses :D It's truely inspiring and I will continue to work on it for a little while.

I will add the AI as well, thanks for the suggestion

Warmageddon by schizokoa 2014-08-27T16:27:00

FUUUN!! :D

4 Dimensions by Delicious Code 2014-08-26T13:28:00

Fun little game. The controls are a bit slow and heavy though.

The Wild West And Its' Living Fossils by toinfiniityandbeyond 2014-08-26T13:23:00

Very very fun!!!
The sound is awesome and I totally dig the simpel art it works quite nice.

Two Lonely Robots by Simon@LD 2014-08-26T12:33:00

Very good puzzels and fun soundtrack. Works well both parts of the music cool ending

Misplaced by akymos 2014-08-26T13:44:00

Haha music is sick! Yeu yeu yeu yeeeuy euyee

A Hat's Trick by Soup With Bits 2014-08-26T15:22:00

Very fun and smart. Reminds me a little of Ibb and Obb :)

This Little Piggy... by InfectionTeam 2014-08-26T17:39:00

5 stars to all! SICK GAME!!! WTF!!
Now give me my salad

Yggdrasil by stevens_studio 2014-08-26T12:18:00

When I'm at a piece of water I fall of the first rock and get stuck :(

Dead Weight by ponywolf 2014-08-26T15:12:00

Waaaaaat full 5 star this is amazing! Expand a little and sell this bad boy!

Gargoyle Abyss by imaginarymonsters 2014-08-26T13:38:00

Graphics from the screens looks amazing. Can't wait to play on chrome :)

Fuel Runner by RobotFriend 2014-08-26T13:54:00

Wow that's very good art! I wish I could visit the restaurant at the end of the universe ;(

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Grave Screen Of Death by Florent 2014-12-09T16:35:00

Not very bad :D
I'd love the dash to be in the direction I'm moving though so I can dash backwards but that might have been too over powered :p

The Result by Dyn 2014-12-08T14:07:00

I have no idea what I just did... :|

Good sound

Santa's Seasonal Slayfest by GarethIW 2014-12-09T16:46:00

This is pretty cool haha :D
The controls are somewhat interesting because of the 3d movement.
It works but you need to get used to it.

Fun game nice touch with the snowman :p

I died at wave 4

Mini Minotaur by ljdp 2014-12-08T13:39:00

Wow this is so simpel and great!!!
It's super hard couldn't win :p

DebugIt(); by Recon 2014-12-08T14:20:00

Wow very spacing :|

BBQ DAD by Luke Molnar 2014-12-08T13:58:00

Hahah the audio!! Omg the audio is amazing!
You've got to have had a great time recording that.

The idea is super nice and sweet. Though it's sometimes hard to see what's rare and medium and such :D

Great entry.

My points: 152

Spiral Wings by Joe Williamson 2014-12-10T01:48:00

This looks so well polished! Amazing!
Can't wait to see more

Boobs Of War by Monochrome Bears 2014-12-08T14:19:00

Boobs.... Wow can't play though :( giev bobs plox ;)

Block Dungeon by Lancelot Gao 2014-12-08T14:18:00

Cool art!
Sound is kind of loud though :p

Oven by SojaBird 2014-12-08T13:30:00

Hey all, thanks for the reponses.

01101101 I've fixed your problem you can now also directly pull the bread out without having to rely on the tin. :)

Champions League by holgk 2014-12-09T16:51:00

I'm not sure how it works :(
Looked like it was going to be fun.

HexaPong by fancypants 2014-12-09T16:53:00

Hahah funny.
Had a similar idea some time ago.

This is a pretty fun little game. Maybe for mobile?

Super Flummi by Scam 2014-12-08T13:52:00

The controls feel very heavy and the challenge isn't just there yet though I see where you wanted to go with this.

I like the music!
A very good attempt :)

Hive by JoshDBB 2014-12-09T16:47:00

I hate spiders haha :p

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-09T16:55:00

Lol fun and simple :p
Though I couldn't get more then 1 pie. When the lights goes on it laaags so hard I just doesn't poop in time

Mind Traveller by Ogniok 2014-12-09T16:28:00

Super cool astehtics! Looks very nice

InchAlpha by fil00dl 2014-12-08T14:03:00

Fun design and graphics work well with the gameplay.
Maybe work this out a bit more and see what you can come up with.

Bomb Wars by minimumentropy 2014-12-08T13:47:00

Wow this is actually super super nice!
The gameplay is very interesting and new.
Cool stuff 5 stars on Innovation!

Something about Cats by twick 2014-12-09T16:33:00

Cats is always good :p
The gameplay is pretty neat but the controlls fee a bit strange as you slide over tiles very easy and sometimes you don't stop moving.

Concept is great thought and good subtle audio

Nebula by UrbanLogicGames 2014-12-09T16:30:00

Wow !! Just wow.
Very clever design and art is sweeeeeeet

The Fourth Wall by DavidErosa 2014-12-07T19:25:00

Haha amazing :p That ass

Guard Screen by SusanTheCat 2014-12-09T16:49:00

Haha nice game but it's really hard.
I can't keep my eyes on 2-3 floors :p

DFGH Mission by Germain 2014-12-09T16:42:00

Niiiice! Died when returning to earth :p

The game is super smart and fun.
This sure is a top entry :D

I like how you have a small window and see the planet and such running :D COoool!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

PukeMan by Will Edwards 2015-04-21T13:11:00

Very funny spin on pacman

Ice Story ( koori monogatari 氷物語 ) by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2015-04-24T11:50:00

Waaaat! How the crap did you make this in such a short time! :D It's freaking amazing! The art is stunning and the sound... I'm in love :D Well done!

Blink Gun by Split82 2015-04-20T12:03:00

This is seriously stunning!
The gameplay is so cool and I can see this being something that could become bigger easily :D Very nice. Keep it up!!

Voice Blaster by SojaBird 2015-04-20T12:07:00

Hey deadarius. Thanks for playing! :D
The physics are a bit crappy since the air-hose has physics and pull and such. I want to change this but didn't had time in the end. At this point you can not loose, only give up. You can not travel in the ship itself yet which would be a nice feature for a next version.

Thanks again! I'm sure I'll check out yours as well

CMDer by deadarius 2015-04-20T12:11:00

Wa-ha-hauw! This is super cool!
I used to play "type to do stuff" games in my early years (Hugo's house of Horror and such).
This reminds me of that which is super cool and nostalgic.
I've always though about game concepts like this and this is a great implementation of it.
Cool how it works in multiplayer.

All I don't know is how to respawn after I died.

Screaming Wizards by Mizipzor 2015-04-27T12:21:00

Fun little thing :)
it sometimes is really hard to read since the font is a bit un-accentuated (A & O look quite the same and some others)

Overal pretty neat.

Bomb Your House by rohtie 2015-04-21T13:00:00

Not much gameplay but the idea is nice.
The controls are very fast, I can't make things look nice (propperly drawn dongs) :(

Guide 2 Where? by Pitƶik4 2015-04-23T08:40:00

Wow that was super hard! :D Coool!

LD33 — You are the Monster

Up & Away! by bytegrove 2015-08-24T16:35:00

Super cool cool game!
It's pretty old school which is great.

The mouse not being hidden does bothered me a bit.
Also some jumps feel impossible

Fun thing though :) good work!!

You are the GM by GAFBlizzard 2015-08-24T15:21:00

Hahaha omg this is so simple yet so fun :p
I fought the monster at level 4 and got killed by 100 rolls xD

Also don't try defeating the bat when you are level 1 :p lol


Great idea, fun sound and graphics.
Cool stuff!

Would be need to have the selection remain to make it work a bit faster.

Overall pretty nice!

Ugly Turtle by HacksawUnit 2015-08-25T15:23:00

Haha fun little game well worked out.
Cool take on the theme

NotZilla: Ice Cream Vendor by RisingPixel 2015-08-25T08:55:00

5 starred it all!

This game is super smart and very funny.
It feels very polished!

I did play with keys which isn't too bad but I can imagen how the game will be even better when played with 360 controller (didn't had the time to plug it in).


Cool stuff, I'm curious if you will do something more with this concept! :D

Grow by fullmontis 2015-08-26T09:36:00

Pretty darn good mood.
Hard game though.

Cool art!

Minion Factorium by DaanVanYperen 2015-08-24T09:45:00

Haha a really neat little game.
Great graphics and a very good core mechanic.
It's pretty hectic at start but that's where some of the interesting stuff is.

It looks like every level has just the right amoung of blocks to complete it.
I think some of them could be completed with less.
Maybe in the future you could have blocks in your inventory, and based on how many you have deployed in the end you get stars. (Current stars should just be a X amount of correct monsters in the right exit)

Very fun, I think you might be able to make a little mobile game out of this with more challenging levels <3

Necromorph by Supernaught 2015-08-27T12:29:00

Super cool art style and a really really nice gameplay idea.

Do more with this idea!!!

Spoody by Kerdelos 2015-08-26T10:51:00

Pretty nice gameplay.
Too bad you can't really walk the web but :D

Nice little touch with the peaceful mode.

Mobs, Inc. by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-08-28T10:00:00

5 stars all around!
Great art and sound.
Super easy but fun gameplay.

I have not yeat been promoted at 60 :c
Need to play more :D

Mobs, Inc. by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-08-28T10:11:00

Crap does anything happen at level 100?
I got to 99 :c

Match by SojaBird 2015-08-24T02:12:00

Woops should be fixed

Match by SojaBird 2015-08-24T11:10:00

Fleeing animals! That's GREAT!!!!
Burning squirres even more >:3

Match by SojaBird 2015-08-24T12:33:00

Small update: Fixed some performance issues

Match by SojaBird 2015-08-24T14:23:00

@Demy
Tnx for the feedback.
I should be able to improve the restart feature.
The wind helps spread the fire in the direction the wind is blowing.
I do agree that it should get more player-feedback to display what happens, maybe I'll do some particle thing where you see the fire spread more.
Zooming is already implemented, I did forget to put it in the controls (fixed).

@crare
Tnx for the comment!
I didn't had much time to balance out the game, but I'll try to add more bombs or ways to gain new bombs if I continue to work on this project :)



Thanks for all the comments <3

Match by SojaBird 2015-08-26T13:01:00

@McFood the wind helps spread the fire in a specific direction.
Fire will spread by default to nearby vegitation, the wind will help give it extra reach in the winds direction.
I do agree, it lacks some feedback for the player.

Writhe: The Thing from the Omega Sector by DragonXVI 2015-08-25T19:40:00

Thats an all out 5 stars on ever ything.
It's pretty cool how this actually works.

Sound is really neat, great stuff!

Meet the Monsta by Schrodinger Games 2015-08-25T15:24:00

That is some sweet soundtrack and art.
Cool idea, simple gameplay.

Fun to play but not for long.

Damage Control by peterkirk 2015-08-24T16:39:00

I just 5 starred all categories!!

Dang this game is neat!
The graphics... Amazing wow :D that was really nice haha

THe gameplay is super fun and easy super fun and greatly executed! Good job!!

DRUMSTER by SoulGame 2015-08-27T20:14:00

Haha that was super hard but really fun.

Good job and pretty neat you can take your time to learn eat section since it loops :)

Sweet entry

Project Jumpius by kirilllosev 2015-08-24T12:40:00

I think I broke the game... I turned into a super small pixel monster thing.
Maybe I got parented to an object that was scaled down?
Enemies can't hit me... I feel a highscore comming up xD

KidsGrace by Polith Games 2015-08-24T15:29:00

A very cool looking, simple game!
I like that it works with highscore on gamejolt.

Gets a bit repetitive though after a while.
Maybe increase the difficulty (faster?)

The Mammoth: A Cave Painting by inbetweengames 2015-08-31T12:15:00

Wow that mood and art is amazing!
Simple gameplay and a deep theme sweet! Cool cool nice naration!

Sunset Monster by dregamr 2015-08-30T16:20:00

Cool and simplistic design!
Good music even though it's a bit too loud.

It's pretty hard but that's cool for a game like this.
After first transformation I died :c

iMonster by chkkll 2015-08-26T12:15:00

Hahaha that was a super funny game to play.
Even though it lacks some goal it is still pretty fun to explore the dungeon.

Good job!

The Stowaway by BuffaloPhil 2015-08-24T16:28:00

Wow this is super cool!
I like the style with the gray and red.

Very nicely done

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Concrete Jungle by Miltage 2015-12-14T12:40:00

Wow this is so much fun!
Cool art, cool gameplay and relaxing fun soundtrack with it.

It's nice that there is no real score or anything, just a relaxing experience.
The gameplay itself is fun enough to stand on its own without goal or score or anything! Great job!

I really love the way you used the flashing birds and humans and such to reflect time <3

99 Steps by George 2015-12-14T02:21:00

Super fun and cool!
I like the audio design and the simplicity of the game.
Very cool and great little polish.

You could make an infinit mode, would be cool (add something like this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone)

LD35 — Shapeshift

windowframe by managore 2016-04-22T23:09:00

that was the most easy game to rate ever!
omg man this is really really neat!

I only had to skip 1 level because I just couldn't figure it out hehe :p

Really great, super sick mechanic, great art and holy snap how did you got time for this many levels.

Keep it up!

PERMUTATE by TravisChen 2016-04-19T23:15:00

Really well though concept and nice looking art, the mood is there with the audio.

One Letter Werewolf by tompudding 2016-04-19T23:01:00

Even though it's pretty bare bone, I really like the looks art-style.

KILL ALL PESKY FARMERS!

Go Shape Yourself by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2016-04-19T23:34:00

Ha this is very simple but quite fun!
Its hard how you can kill yourself by hitting your own bullets after shifting.

The audio is not high-tech but it fits the art style.
Good job!

Shapeshifter Biker by Reuno 2016-04-19T13:35:00

A very well executed game.
I love the art style and simple yet effective gameplay.
To bad the music doesn't keep playing when I die, because it's pretty cool :D

Infinity Access by Hyoga-3D 2016-04-19T23:11:00

First of, wow it has localization :D Nice!

I am not sure what the message behind this might be but I found the game pretty funny :p
It's a balancing act between protest for more internet and spending internet to gain energy for more protest? :p
Never ending loop I guess :p Can you reach infinity? Lol Deep stuff :D good job!

Turbo/Glide by rnlf 2016-04-21T14:34:00

Very well done transform animation.
Controls are a bit difficult and was only able to beat the first level after 10 or so tries.

Paperchase by DragonXVI 2016-04-19T23:19:00

Stunning art!

Skywind Temple by Ogniok 2016-04-21T11:20:00

Wow what a great atmosphere and amazing art!
I'm total in love with local multiplayer!

WINNERS HERE

Belly No MOre by Stechas 2016-04-19T23:41:00

Haha wow that is a pretty intens, confronting game you made there ;)
I wasn't able to play the second thing on the threadmil but I guess I was just still too fat to actual run (really though, I think it might've been bugged).

I did spun up the bike to make it go over 1000 xD Sweet lord those legs must be 200% muscle :p

Drift Shift by Bailman03 2016-04-19T22:56:00

Good controls, but I don't feel the shift thing adds much.
Maybe you could have gone and added different gears you that you need to shift using the shifter. (Like manual gear shifting).
I tried making a drift game once as well which did took me a long time but still didn't feel right. You did a pretty good job.

Forge Rampage by Riftpoint 2016-04-19T22:49:00

The gameplay is easy and pretty fun, though hard since you only get 2 lives :p I only got 4 swaps max.
Swapping classes reminds me a bit of Rogue legacy.

The audio was neat.
The minigame was a bit odd at first.

The Maitre D by SeaDads 2016-04-20T01:37:00

Yep real nice entry you got here guys :)
5/5 on all easily!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2pL7eMAB8w

PistolShrimp by coffeeComputer 2016-04-19T23:00:00

Too bad I can't get this to run :( The image looks good!

Exhuman by Arvydas 2016-04-19T22:52:00

Wow that is some great artstyle you guys have going on there :D

Oops! My Dear is a Deer by Remdiky 2016-04-19T23:04:00

Rock that music haha.
The gameplay is pretty hectic but I just love the randomness of this haha.

Great job! Nice take on the theme! 5/5

shape, LeSS by medidog 2016-04-19T23:31:00

I think I am missing something, I can't get past the first bit.

Pretty fun concept where you change into a baloon (?)
Nice art style with the glasses changing position looks fun :)

No audio though :(

Cuddle Fish by zaywolfe 2016-04-19T22:58:00

Not really my type of game but the art style is pretty fun :D 5/5 humor

BlowRider: Legends by WojtaW 2016-04-19T18:48:00

Hahah wow this was super fun. Short 'n sweet.
Real cool and nice feeling "driving" mechanic and the fact that you can change the size is just cool. A very intuitive way of steering. Great job!

55 Days by V4lesti 2016-04-19T23:27:00

Very pretty one of the best I've played so far.
The audio is very soothing and breaths peace and rest to the game.
The gameplay is well executed but resembles concrete jungle a bit too much.

The art is very well done.
Very simple looking game with great depth and lot a lot of fun.

I'd say expand a bit more and put it on the AppStore ;)

"Manu: Flight of the Bird" - v0.nothing done! by PPski 2016-04-19T22:59:00

Everyone loves KIWI!! :D

Conviction by JTBurby 2016-04-19T23:13:00

Seems like it doesn't run for me :(
I wanted to play because it looks well good in the pics!

SUPER HEXAPONG by TreePunchers 2016-04-20T12:40:00

Not too bad, pretty fun idea.
Too bad the shape of the board doesn't really change the gameplay, also I think the paddles should reflect the ball instead of just flipping the normal of the ball.

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Aventures Dans Le Système Solaire by petmonkey 2016-08-29T00:41:00

Hahah what a cracker "game".
Cool art style, funny dialog.

Not much gameplay but a real neat little interactive diorama :)
Well done, good fun!

ArsonVille by Graham Weldon 2016-08-28T22:23:00

Well done a really simple yet fun execution of a great idea!
The art style is cool and sound adds a fun bit.

It reminded me of one of my previous entries to I wanted to let you know that you did a better job :P

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=31667

LD38 — A Small World

Run, U Fool! by zgragselus 2017-08-02T16:32:01Z

Very cool to see how much you were able to do with the 3 of you. The communcation what when goes and such with the light is smart, I like it. It's minimal and clear. Cool

Maybe work on it more? :D

Hey there.

The game was really confusing to me but it looks like there wnet a bit of work into the architecture of this game. I've tried to make a simulation/builder game before during LD and it sucked since it's hard.

I feel sorry that I don't understand whats going on.

There is good music but it sucks that I'm really bad at the game so I kept hearing the first part and that was it haha. Cool Mario clone. Not sure what space and down do, because I wasn't able to get far enough.

Really clever little piece of interactive painting. Not much gameplay but fun enough for a single run.

Reload is pretty fast but I guess the ramp-up of baddies works oke enough.

The sound really enhances the atmosphere. The little SFX when you die almost scared me a little, haha really nice.

The sound really does it for this piece. I love how the art is defined enough to make up your own story.

Very cool simple concept. Really well executed and a cool art style that reminds me of World of Goo, Gish (and other McMillen art).

It's pretty hard, maybe it is nice to have a short speed up time at the beginning of a spin for more precise control.

Simple but a great feat in explaining the game through gameplay without clearly saying what to do. Art is simple but does the job very well.

Sound would be an amazing mood maker and would have kept me going for a bit longer (didn't complete [T]eam level).
